Balancing Acts: Unveiling the Metaphors in Doubledrive's 'Evenout'
Lyrics
Expression is by sometimes consequence
Expression is sometimes a result of consequences.
Little more than common sense again
Common sense, often little more, is recurring.
I watch you all build up the fall
Observing others contribute to the downfall of my improvement.
Of my betterment
Referring to the decline of personal growth.
With greener grass
Comparing the situation to greener grass elsewhere.
But taller fence
Suggesting a desire for privacy with a taller fence.
Get us some confetti here
Expressing excitement or celebration.
We had us a banner year
Highlighting a successful period.
I see your garbage
Observing someone's flaws or shortcomings.
Close to your common sense
Proximity of one's mistakes to their common sense.
When in doubt
Suggesting a strategy for uncertainty.
You gotta throw the whole thing out
Advocating discarding the entire thing when in doubt.
Even it out
Advocating for balance or leveling.
Hold me in the balance
Asking for equilibrium or stability in a relationship.
Hold your breath
Suggesting anticipation and anxiety.
Running from nothing
Running away from nothing, being scared of the unknown.
Scared to death
Expressing extreme fear.
You say your controller's broken
Describing a malfunctioning controller, possibly feeling helpless.
Can do nothing at the moment
Temporary inability to act or decide.
We balance out
Seeking balance or equilibrium.
Lower the scales and take the ride down
Lowering the scales and accepting the consequences.
I see your garbage
Observing flaws close to one's common sense.
Close to your common sense
Reiterating the proximity of mistakes to common sense.
When in doubt
Suggesting a strategy for uncertainty, similar to line 12.
You gotta throw the whole thing out
Advocating discarding the entire thing when in doubt, similar to line 13.
Even it out
Reiterating the call for balance or leveling.
